The Flat

Spirited if amateurish production

The typical domestic dysfunction endured by a group of young people sharing a flat in London explodes into something altogether more disturbing with the arrival of a new flatmate, an apparently shy Goth girl who has some serious anger management issues. Her problems, however, merely boil to the surface those of her cohabitants: selfishness, unrequited love and repressed sexuality among them. Although this spirited if amateurish production has a serious edge, it’s largely played for laughs.
